Coinbase Global (COIN) stock rose 7.6% on Thursday to close at $172.35, its second straight sharp gain. The news that morning was political: after a White House meeting with crypto executives that included Coinbase’s own CEO, the administration urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act. The odd part is what the company has already said about needing that bill.
Bitcoin Rallied Into Thursday’s Open And Two Crypto Peers Still Fell
Thursday’s coverage credited the jump to a rebound in crypto prices and to the Washington news together. The tape supports only one of them. Over the same session the S&P 500 slipped 0.8%, and so did two of the crypto-linked names: Robinhood Markets (HOOD) fell 0.7% and Bakkt (BKKT) fell 3.1%, while bitcoin was extending its recent rally as Thursday opened. PayPal (PYPL) added 1.7%. A rebound in coin prices that left Robinhood and Bakkt lower is not what moved this one.
What The CLARITY Act Would Actually Change
The CLARITY Act would take oversight of most crypto trading away from securities regulators, so its fate bears directly on this stock. On Wednesday morning it was being written up as trading below a key level amid uncertainty over the bill’s outcome.
